Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

One week after her son's conviction, Donna Adelson tried to board a one-way flight to Vietnam. She didn't make it past the jet bridge. Prosecutors charged the 73-year-old matriarch with first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation in the killing of Dan Markel — the same charges that put her son Charlie in prison for life seven days earlier.Two jailhouse informants testified that Donna confessed behind bars and then tried to buy a replacement story. She wrote a handwritten script — questions and answers — for another inmate to memorize and recite under oath. In exchange: ten thousand dollars, a grand piano, and prescription drugs. A state handwriting expert confirmed the script was Donna's. The defense called her "a meddler, not a murderer." The jury took three hours and convicted her on all counts.At sentencing, Donna told the judge she'd never had a parking ticket. She asked where the evidence was. She suggested the jury was asleep during parts of the trial. Judge Everett interrupted her repeatedly and cited her utter lack of remorse. Life without parole.

The criminal trial ended in a mistrial. The civil lawsuits are just beginning. Patrick Clancy and Lindsay Clancy have both filed suit against the medical providers who treated Lindsay before the January 2023 deaths of their children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. Both lawsuits name the same defendants — psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts, nurse practitioners Rebecca Jollotta and Julie Paul, Aster Mental Health, and South Shore Health.
Patrick’s wrongful death complaint alleges his ex-wife was prescribed eight psychiatric medications in a three-week span. Lindsay’s malpractice suit alleges undiagnosed Bipolar I disorder with postpartum onset and a course of uncoordinated polypharmacy that triggered a psychotic break.
The criminal trial at Plymouth Superior Court produced five weeks of conflicting psychiatric expert testimony. The jury deadlocked eleven to one and could not resolve the competing diagnoses.
Bob Motta of Defense Diaries examines the providers’ exposure, what the mistrial does to the civil cases, and why the only courtroom likely to examine the medication timeline under oath may now be the civil one.

Seven days of deliberation. More than thirty-six hours behind closed doors. Eighty-plus witnesses. Three hundred exhibits. And when the jury in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial finally reported to Judge William Sullivan for the third time that they could not agree, the split was eleven to one.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington said the eleven wanted to acquit. The holdout, reportedly a male juror, would not follow the majority. Sullivan declared a mistrial at Plymouth Superior Court.
Clancy had pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months. The defense argued postpartum psychosis and overmedication drove her actions. Prosecutors said she planned the killings and acted rationally.
Reddington tried everything in the final hours. He asked Sullivan to dismiss the holdout. He asked for a lesser-charge poll. He filed an emergency petition with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. The court denied it. The mistrial stood.
DA Timothy Cruz must now decide whether to retry. Sullivan scheduled a September 29 status conference.
Bob Motta of Defense Diaries examines why one holdout can override eleven and what the split tells us about the prosecution’s evidence. He asks what a retrial means for the survivors who just endured five weeks of testimony.

Barry Morphew is facing a new legal problem while awaiting trial in Suzanne Morphew’s death. A Colorado judge says video from an alleged Denver hit-and-run clearly shows Morphew during an encounter that prosecutors now say matters to his bond.
According to the court, Morphew refused to provide his name or identification and indicated he didn’t have insurance. He then made the other driver a specific offer for the damage.
She declined and said police were being called. The judge says Morphew left afterward, nearly hit another person, and drove over a curb.
Morphew has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Judge Amanda Hopkins ordered him confined to his home with no ordinary exceptions. Prosecutors want further restrictions because they argue his conduct shows a willingness to evade authorities.
One number in that exchange now sits at the center of a much bigger problem.

Look past the verdict watch and the Lindsay Clancy case has become something much stranger.
We are judging the jurors for failing to agree. We are judging Patrick Clancy for how he grieves, where he lives, whom he married and why he forgave Lindsay. And we are judging prosecutors for pursuing a first-degree murder case that Kevin Reddington says never included a plea offer.
Tony Brueski takes all of it apart.
The jury heard psychiatric professionals reach fundamentally different conclusions about Clancy’s criminal responsibility. Patrick became a target of unsupported theories despite no public evidence implicating him. And the justice system now faces the difference between punishment, treatment and protection.
Three children are dead. Nothing about that changes.
But if every person surrounding the tragedy must also satisfy an angry audience, we may be asking the wrong people to prove themselves.
